The Journey

Jackson was sitting in the Starbucks at 1500 Broadway sipping his coffee when he felt the vibration of his phone. It was a text from his friend Matt it said "I have a proposal for you, meet me at 5 at Monks". Matt did his other Sunday activities and arrived at Monks at five. Matt was already at a table waiting for Jackson. Jackson took a seat and asked what was this great proposal. Matt pulled something out of his coat pocket without saying a word and handed them to Jackson. They were one way plane tickets to Las Vegas for tomorrow! What kind of proposal is this asked Jackson. We need a break, get your money, pack your bags and screw your catholic ways. Lets get out of New York and have some fun replied Matt. Jackson had been taught all his life to never gamble and now his best friend was trying to get him to go against something he had been taught. After some heavy convincing from Matt, Jackson agreed to take the one way ticket and go have some fun.

Hero: Jackson
Ordinary world: New York City going to school at NYU and working to become an actuary.
Call to adventure: When he meets his friend and his friend hands him a one way plane ticket to Las Vegas and he decides to take it.
Special world: Las Vegas, the capital city of sin

    I think you probably should have said what happend in Vegas, or something. It was too short to really get a point across.
